Multiple Counter objects with Analog Triggers issues.

As the title suggests I am having issues with the Counter class. I am specifically using MA3 encoders and using the Counter and Analog Trigger classes to keep track of rollovers. This works fine when using a single MA3, however, with multiple it seems that only the counter created first in code works. The others don't throw exceptions, dont give errors, just simply don't register rollovers and simply don't count. I know the analog inputs themselves are working fine, as well as the analog triggers, so I have narrowed it down to the counter.

The barebones code I used to test this issue is below. If anybody can tell me where I screwed up I would be very grateful.

Code:
public class Robot extends IterativeRobot {
	
	Joystick controller = new Joystick(0);
	
	
	VictorSP motor1 = new VictorSP(7);
	VictorSP motor2 =  new VictorSP(17);
	
	AnalogInput ma31 = new AnalogInput(0);
	AnalogInput ma32 = new AnalogInput(3);
	
	AnalogTrigger Trigger1 = new AnalogTrigger(ma31);
	AnalogTrigger Trigger2 = new AnalogTrigger(ma32);
	
	Counter Counter1 = new Counter();
	Counter Counter2 = new Counter();
	
    /**
     * This function is run when the robot is first started up and should be
     * used for any initialization code.
     */
    public void robotInit() {
    	
    	Trigger1.setLimitsVoltage(0.5, 4.5);
    	Trigger2.setLimitsVoltage(0.5,4.5);
    	Counter1.setUpDownCounterMode();
    	Counter2.setUpDownCounterMode();
    	
    	Counter1.setUpSource(Trigger1, AnalogTriggerType.kRisingPulse);
    	Counter1.setDownSource(Trigger1, AnalogTriggerType.kFallingPulse);

    	Counter2.setUpSource(Trigger2, AnalogTriggerType.kRisingPulse);
    	Counter2.setDownSource(Trigger2, AnalogTriggerType.kFallingPulse);
    	
    }

    /**
     * This function is called periodically during autonomous
     */
    public void autonomousPeriodic() {

    }

    /**
     * This function is called periodically during operator control
     */
    public void teleopPeriodic() {
    	
    	if(controller.getRawButton(1)) motor1.set(0.2);
    	else if(controller.getRawButton(2)) motor1.set(-0.2);
    	else if(controller.getRawButton(3)) motor2.set(0.2);
    	else if(controller.getRawButton(4)) motor2.set(-0.2);
    	else{
    		motor1.set(0);
    		motor2.set(0);
    	}
        System.out.println(Counter1.get()+ "    " + Counter2.get() + "   " + ma31.getVoltage()+ "   " + ma32.getVoltage());
    }
    
    /**
     * This function is called periodically during test mode
     */
    public void testPeriodic() {
    
    }
    
}
Thanks for your time and advice in advance.
